10 Things to See and Do at Singapore Zoo

Singapore Zoo

Singapore Zoo is the oldest zoo in Singapore, and by a large margin. It was opened on 1 November 1973, almost 45 years ago. The zoo has been estimated to have about 7 million visitors every year.

The first thing that you will notice when you visit the zoo is that it’s really well laid out – there are different zones for animals like tigers, primates and pandas. This makes it easier to find your way around without getting lost or running into something unexpected!

Just like any other tourist attraction, it is better to have an itinerary prior to getting there so you can make the most out of your time rather than consuming it thinking about where to go first. 

 

Address: 80 Mandai Lake Rd, Singapore 729826

Opening hours: 08:30 AM to 06:00 PM

Top 10 Things to See and Do at Singapore Zoo

Singapore's Own Simba

If you’re a fan of the Lion King, you will definitely adore this cute cub Simba. He is the first lion cub that was conceived by assisted reproduction in the animal hospital and has braved through all the challenges of survival.

RepTopia

Of the over 60 species of reptiles and amphibians, around 20 here are just new. RepTopia has interactive activities to introduce the geographical and environmental needs of the species. One of the most popular reptiles in this RepTopia is the Panther Chameleon. If you are amazed at how these creatures launch their tongues to catch food, then this is your chance to get to see it in action up close.

The African Penguins

Take a look at these cute African penguins at Singapore Zoo. But did you know that their species are becoming more and more endangered because of different factors like oils and being predated by other animals? We hope that their species survive so that the next generations will still be able to see how cute they are.

Australasia

If you think that Marsupials, like kangaroos and wallabies can only be found in Australia. Think again. They can also occur naturally in other regions like New Guinea, Indonesia and the Americas. Marsupials are also commonly known as pouched mammals. Take a look at the adorable kangaroos while they hopping around, some even carrying their little ones in their pouches.

Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia

Inspired by the Ethiopian zone, the Great Rift Valley at Singapore Zoo replicates the most popular rift valley in the world. Saddle-billed Stork, Rock Hyrax, Nubian Ibex, Meerkat, Hamadryas Baboon and the blue-winged goose are among the animals that can be seen in this part of the zoo.

Elephants of Asia

Elephants have influenced the belief of some religions in Asian countries like Malaysia and Indonesia. Get to know these gentle giant herbivores with a presentation assisted by their keepers and carers.
